Scenes like this, to be honest, even Qiao Songnian and the others did not expect it at the beginning.

There are so many people in the darkness and there is no end in sight, especially the visual impact brought about by so many people gathering together is extremely shocking.

Just imagine what kind of impact it would have if so many people attacked a certain place together.

The look of shock on Qiao Songnian's face gradually faded away, replaced by a kind of excitement and expectation. When he looked at Cao Zhen and the others, he saw that Cao Zhen and the others also had normal looks of expectation on their faces.

"Hahaha, if Li Huan doesn't die this time, then God really has no eyes to see!"

Cao Zhen, who was stroking his beard, narrowed his eyes and said, "No one can save Li Huan this time."

As he spoke, he could hear a crowd outside the mansion, headed by a few stewards from each mansion, with servants from each mansion as the core, plus a group of thousands of so-called common people who had gathered for money.

Qiao Ling shouted loudly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said loudly: "Everyone, today everyone will go with me to attack the team of a big traitor in the imperial court. If anyone can kill that big traitor by then,

If so, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver."

Suddenly many people's eyes showed excitement, especially some local ruffians who rolled up their sleeves excitedly and shouted.

One hundred taels of silver, if you are talking about buying maids and maids, you can buy almost a dozen of them. If you save a little on food, it will be enough for a family of four for ten years.

It can be said that Qiao Ling's words immediately stirred up the atmosphere present, especially some people who were dominated by the greed in their hearts and wanted to set off immediately.

Someone couldn't help shouting: "Manager Qiao, stop talking nonsense, kill whoever you say, please take the big guys with you."

"Yes, yes, we can't wait."

Upon seeing this, Qiao Ling waved his hand and said, "Follow me, everyone."

With that said, Qiao Ling rushed towards Xie's house first.

After all, people from each family have already found out that Li Huan is leading the Jin Yiwei men to ransack the homes in the Xie Mansion.

Even the Xie family, which had a pavilion elder like Xie Qian and had connections all over the government and the public, was targeted by Li Huan, and ended up having his family confiscated and exterminated.

What's more, they are powerful in these places.

If Li Huan really had his eye on them and officially attacked them, each of their families would have absolutely no power to resist.

It was precisely after seeing the fate of the Xie family that the families who had been suppressed by Li Huan's methods reacted so violently.

In their opinion, since they have been targeted by Li Huan, they might as well go all out and kill Li Huan if they succeed, and someone will naturally help them settle everything.

If Li Huan can't be killed, each of their families can't escape Li Huan's revenge anyway, so why not give it a try.

There were a huge crowd of thousands of people, some carrying sticks, and some even carrying weapons in their hands, and followed the flow of people towards Xie's Mansion.

After the crowd left, they saw a huge carriage slowly driving out of Qiao's mansion, following the crowd slowly.

In the carriage, Qiao Songnian, Cao Zhen and others were sitting in it, looking at the crowd like a torrent from a distance.

At the same time, at the gate of Yuyao County, the old gatekeeper leaned against the corner and squinted his eyes. Not long ago, waves of soldiers fled back to the city in embarrassment. Coupled with several waves of Jinyi guards entering the city, only a dozen or so guards were allowed to guard the city.

The old soldiers at Nian City Gate felt that their eyes were opened and their spirits were very high.

It's a pity that the excitement is followed by endless fatigue, and now the old man is just leaning against the corner to rest his mind.

Suddenly the ground shook slightly, and the old soldier who was leaning there to rest his mind suddenly opened his eyes, looked up, and his expression suddenly changed.

On the official road not far away, smoke and dust were billowing, and a team in armor was slowly running toward the city gate. In front of them were more than a dozen cavalry.

When the old soldier saw this scene, his expression changed drastically. He subconsciously stood up and wanted to order the stunned soldiers under his command to close the city gate.

The soldiers under Lao Pou were stunned by fright. They had never seen such a scene before.

Just looking at the black army of soldiers and horses, especially the invisible evil aura rushing towards my face, let alone getting up and closing the door, my heart was pounding, as if I had suddenly lost control of my body.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed to the city gate. The cavalrymen glanced condescendingly at the old soldiers and shouted: "Everyone, get out of the way."

The old soldiers finally reacted. Faced with the scoldings of these cavalry, they did not even dare to say anything in rebuttal. They shrank into the city gate hole, peeking their heads out from time to time to take a look, and did not dare to do anything else.

Groups of elite men and horses passed through the city gate and entered Yuyao County. The old soldiers hiding in the city gate just watched secretly. A rough estimate showed that there were almost a thousand people.

With such thousands of elite soldiers, it would not be a problem to massacre the entire Yuyao County.

The old pawn just huddled there, not daring to think about anything. Even if the sky fell, it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, the old pawn strictly ordered his subordinates to not go out no matter what happened outside.

A guard in uniform roared over, and when he saw the group of soldiers and horses that had just entered the city, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

The flag officer, Ma Yan, suddenly reined in his horse, stopped in front of the army, then got off his horse and advanced.

The person leading the army was none other than Lu Qing, the deputy commander of Tengxiang Left Guard.

The Tengxiang left guard was the same army that accompanied Li Huan to kill the rebels in Xiaoyong camp. Although it was quite damaged after the battle with Xiaoyong camp, the entire Tengxiang left guard had five or six thousand people.

There were so many people that Li Huan only asked Gu Dayong to mobilize a thousand elite troops from Tengxiang Zuowei.

Gu Dayong specially sent Lu Qing, the deputy commander, to obey Li Huan's orders.

Therefore, Lu Qing led thousands of elite troops and followed Li Huan all the way. Because Li Huan stopped and waited for them, the time when thousands of troops arrived in Yuyao County was actually the same time as when Li Huan led the Jin Yiwei to arrive in Yuyao County.

It was only about half a day away.

Now Lu Qing looked at the Jinyiwei Chief Flag Officer in front of him saluting him, and Lu Qing did not dare to make excuses. The other person was also a Jinyiwei official after all, especially because he was a subordinate of Li Huan. In the future, he would be the Jinyiwei officer of hundreds or even thousands of households.

Lu Qing also stood up and dismounted, cupped his hands towards the flag officer and said, "Brother, do you have any orders from the Commander-in-Chief?"

Ma Yan didn't even dare, and at the same time he said seriously to Lu Qing: "Master Commander, the Governor has ordered you to seal the city gate and wait for orders at any time. If you see warning fireworks appearing, lead the army there as soon as possible."

Lu Qing looked straight at Ma Yan, cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the orders of the Governor."

After conveying Li Huan's military order, Ma Yan said with a smile: "Master Lu, I still need to go to the commander to report back to you, so I will take my leave now."

Lu Qing nodded after hearing this and watched Ma Yan leave on horseback. He immediately ordered his lieutenants to take over the city gates. At the same time, he sent several chiefs and dozens of soldiers to take over the remaining three city gates.

Lu Qing was confident enough and had dozens of elite soldiers who could block a city gate. At least, even if something unexpected happened, they could hold on until he sent someone there.

After making all these arrangements and making sure there were no mistakes, Lu Qing ordered the remaining nearly a thousand soldiers and horses to rest on the spot and prepare for a battle at any time.

After all, they had been rushing all the way. Although they spent some time on the road and were not too tired, the soldiers were still somewhat tired at this time.

Here, the elite troops of Tengxiang Left Guard were recharging their strength and responding at all times. At the same time, after most of a day's looting, all the wealth that had been accumulated in the Xie family's residence for many years was looted.

Whether it was antiques, paintings, calligraphy, porcelain, etc., anything of value was plundered by the Jin Yiwei who were experts in confiscating homes.

Although I dare not say that the Xie Mansion was completely looted, there really was nothing left.

The members of the Xie family were guarded by some Jin Yiwei. They squatted there one by one, watching their wealth being looted by the Jin Yiwei and then piled up in the yard.

Many people's hearts are bleeding. Many of them were their most beloved treasures, but now they no longer belong to them.

Li Huan is currently sitting on a Taishi chair made of pear wood. This Taishi chair is really exquisite and can definitely be regarded as a fine product. I am afraid it is worth no less than a hundred taels.

Wearing a flying fish suit, Li Huan is made more cold and elegant, and the aloof temperament exuding from his body is intimidating.

Gently stir the tea cup and slowly sip the hot tea exuding the fragrance of tea.

Just looking at Li Huan's reaction, we can tell that Li Huan is in a very relaxed mood at this moment.

Li Huan even looked at Xie Qian who was sitting next to him and said: "Master Xie, would you like to take a sip of tea? Not to mention, the tea you collected is indeed a famous tea. Li really didn't drink it."

Have you ever experienced such precious tea leaves?”

Xie Qian glanced at Li Huan and just snorted coldly. Although he said it was his treasured tea, compared to the fact that the Xie family's huge family fortune was gone, a little tea was nothing.

Carefully handing the tea cup to Lin Pingzhi who was standing aside, Li Huan said to Xie Qian with interest: "Master Xie, you said that all the eight people in Yuyao will be scared to death, right?"

Xie Qian glanced at Li Huan coldly and said: "Li Huan, if you are playing with fire like this, aren't you afraid that you will lose control? If you lose control, the entire Yuyao County will be reduced to ruins.

Even you can't bear such a big responsibility."

Li Huan said calmly: "Isn't this exactly what you want to see?"

Xie Qian sneered when he heard this.

After glancing at Lin Pingzhi, Li Huan said: "Pingzhi, I asked you to arrange for people to keep an eye on those houses. Is there any news?"

Lin Pingzhi hurriedly said: "Sir, our people came to report not long ago, saying that people from the Cao family, the Xing family, the Qiao family, the Zheng family, and the Mao family were gathering in the Qiao Mansion to discuss matters, and

The stewards of the Qiao family seem to be recruiting some shady people."

As he spoke, Lin Pingzhi showed a somewhat strange look on his face and said, "These people are also strange. They actually spend money to recruit some low-class people like local ruffians."

The corners of Li Huan's lips curled up slightly and he said: "Because only such low-life people will risk their lives for money and dare to do anything. If they are really law-abiding people, do you think how much more money the Qiao family will have to spend?"

Even times of money may not be able to attract many people."

Lin Pingzhi thought of the news that came from his Jin Yiwei not long ago. Lin Pingzhi's expression showed a bit of solemnity and disbelief as he said: "Sir, how did you guess that these people are going to drive the stupid people to besiege us?"

Li Huan said with great disdain: "Because this trick has always been tried and true, whenever something happens, they will either be a group of dead soldiers and attack the government office, or they will gather a group of people to create civil chaos, and it will be easy every time."

To settle the matter, you said such a useful trick, why don’t they use it?”

Lin Pingzhi was stunned. Before he became a Jin Yiwei, Lin Pingzhi was really very simple, or in other words, he was a naive young man. How could he know how dangerous people's hearts are in this world.

But even though he had been with Li Huan these days and had seen many things that shattered his cognition, after hearing Li Huan's words, he still looked at each other and said: "Aren't they afraid that the court will hold them accountable? That's

Civil turmoil, to put it seriously, it is a rebellion."

Li Huan sneered when he heard this, his eyes fell on Xie Qian and said: "Mr. Xie Ge, you were also an important minister of the imperial court back then. Why do you think they dared to create civil unrest without restraint?"

Xie Qian glanced at Li Huan and sneered: "That's because the local officials are afraid of losing their hats, the officials above the court are afraid of the emperor's accountability, and the emperor is afraid that civil unrest will really break out. Everyone from top to bottom wants to

By calming things down, big things will be reduced to small ones."
